INGENUITY AND HARDWORK ARE THE INGREDIENTS INSTILLED INTO THE VIRTUOUS THAI CHARACTER: WE COULD LEARN A LOT FROM THAIS IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES

This is a photo of a motorcycle vendor who comes to your doorstep and delivers appetizing treats, cakes, dried squid (in some cases); hence, you name it, and if Thai vendors on their three wheeled motorcycles can make a buck (or a Baht, the monetary means of exchange in Thailand)--I can almost guarantee that somebody will try to bring the product to your home. Thais are very enterprising and will survive any economic downturn, no matter what. Those who work in factories like Westerners are less likely to escape the forthcoming worldwide recession (or depression) because they've become wage slaves, and lack the survival skills that are past on from generation to generation in Thailand. That why Thailand survived the 1997 economic crash via hardwork and ingenuity here in the Land of Smiles.
